I mean, obviously I should’ve been doing it! So I’m just as impressionable as the next person I guess but dang…

Anyone else Googling doctors that you receive emails from to verify if they have actually completed a residency and if they are in fact board-certified (and digging in to see if their residency and board certification(s) are even remotely close to whatever they are selling)? Just me?

Cooking with umami in mind is one of the easiest ways to make plant-based food feel deeply satisfying.

Mushrooms + white beans + greens = simple, savory, craveable.

Saturday at Central Florida Veg Fest, I talked about Aging Compassionately: nourishment, ethics, and self-compassion can deepen with age.

🌱 We don’t have to do it all.
🌱 We get to choose what nourishes us.
🌱 Eating well for longevity is self-compassion.
🌱 Staying vegan as we age is activism.

I’ll be speaking at Central Florida Veg Fest this Saturday at 11 a.m. at Orlando Festival Park:
Aging with Compassion and Purpose: a talk + live cooking demo on aging well and staying true to vegan values. 🌱 💚

So this is 60.

I spent the past year preparing. Not just for a birthday, but for the next chapter.

The final post in my 6-part series "What I Learned on the Way to 60" is live, with links to each reflection + a simple list of actions as you navigate a milestone or reset.

Dave outdid himself with this one. Gluten-free and vegan, it’s a sausage pie with pesto (instead of tomatoes sauce).

Small changes add up to produce real impact. Shifting towards a vegan lifestyle just means looking for better options whenever you can.

Cows, cooking, and compassion … I’m bringing all three to COW FEST! 🐄

September 27 & 28 at Asha’s Farm Sanctuary in New York join me for cooking demos + wellness strategies to create your personal toolkit for self-compassion.

Come for the cows, stay for the compassion. 💛

Just had the chance to share a bit about my winding path: nonprofit work, plant-based living, brain health coaching, and building a purpose-driven practice.

Thanks to Bold Journey for the thoughtful interview. 💚

First gluten-free sourdough loaf. Short and squat: just what I would expect of GF bread. 🤣

I’m transitioning part of my sourdough starter to gluten-free so that I have baking options. Salty Sue, the FL starter I created last summer, now has a GF offspring: Meet Suki!

Batch cooking day!
A variation of the Collard Greens & Beans one-sheet dinner from my book Fast & Easy Vegan.

This time: collards, yellow peppers, pinto and black beans. Big flavor, one pan, minimal cleanup.

Just devoured an incredible meal at Kale Café Vegan Kitchen in Daytona … too good to pause for a photo! Their house-made seitan is phenomenal: flavorful and tender, and packed with soul. If you’re anywhere near the area, don’t miss this gem!🌱 #Vegan #DaytonaBeach

Had no idea! Just texted!

Contract was ending Friday. Said what he wanted to say. Didn’t lose a contract, just didn’t get a renewed one. Sounds like he chose how to leave with a mic drop. Good for him!

Exactly why I’m a Buddhist.

Happy accident in the kitchen today and my lentil soup game is forever changed. Discovered I only had 1/4 cup brown lentils. Found 1/3 cup of red lentils and about 1/3 cup of split peas. I added them all to the Instant Pot with vegetable broth, water, tomato, carrot, mushrooms, and onion. So creamy.

This week in my e-news Plant-Based Cooking Confidence series I shared tips on roasting and included a chart + a recipe from my book Fast & Easy Vegan: Roasted Japanese Yams & Tempeh. Chart and recipe on my site (link in bio).

Pittsburgh Vegan Restaurant Week: Where To Celebrate A number of Pittsburgh-area restaurants are offering specials on tasty vegeterian fare now through May 18.

Years ago after hearing about Baltimore‘s Vegan Restaurant Week, I decided to start one in Colorado Springs. It went on for many years and grew from 7 restaurants to over 30! It’s such an amazing community event. Love seeing them pop up. Here’s one in Pittsburgh!
